This diary records Raymond Fosdick's correspondence and meetings with several influential and important Rockefeller Foundation Officers as well as several brief encounters with Nelson Rockefeller and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The diary covers three subjects: the General Education Board, the Paris Office of the RF, and the Scientific Division of the RF. For the most part the journal describes the negotiations involved in disbursing RF funds for the General Education Board to colleges and universities and its endeavors in the African-American community in the American South. Fosdick also devotes a significant amount of time describing the opinions between American and British scientists and RF officers on how best to structure the Foundation's activities in Medical and Natural Sciences. Fosdick consults several experts on America's standing among the global scientific community in the fields of organic chemistry, biology, and physics. Furthermore, Fosdick consults with his fellow officers on the most efficient structure and governance of the Paris Office, which leads to a discussion on how the RF should interact with politically unfree nations such as Germany and Japan and how it should continue to conduct its work in those nations.

Downs, Wilbur G. (1913-1991)

In an effort to allow planning of more effective and economical malaria control, Dr. Downs devotes much of his time to the establishment of an insectary at Acatlipa, Mexico. There, he works in collaboration with Sr. Bordas—who writes three weeks of diary entries for this period—to ensure the maintenance and propagation of four mosquito species to be used in experimental analysis of DDT. Observations of the mosquitoes are recorded on a daily basis and experiments testing the retention of DDT residual spraying on adobe bricks are emphasized. The distribution of anti-malaria supplies continues as well. Children are examined in order to identify malarious towns and town topography is surveyed to identify mosquito breeding grounds. Based on such observations, Dr. Downs recommends either anti-larval supplies or DDT for malaria control. Dr. Downs frequently addresses public health economics and the cost of supplies as the RF initiative begins to hold local towns responsible for funding their own anti-malaria supplies.

As Mexican public health initiatives remain pressed for funds, Dr. Downs continues to recommend either DDT residual spraying or anti-larval campaigns as a means of malaria control. It is Dr. Downs' goal to promote the sustainability of Mexican malaria control using Mexican money; and to avoid dependency on foreign funds. Dr. Downs emphasizes the importance of local support for malaria; continued attendance at training sessions instituted to educate Mexicans in the public health field; and the gradual accession of malaria programs by the state. He also comments upon the challenges that face effective public health campaigns given the limitations of the Mexican government. Scientific investigation at the experimental houses at Acatlipa continues. Research focuses on DDT analysis and, in particular, on the retention of DDT residue on adobe bricks. As for the insectary, there, Dr. Downs continues his work maintaining the mosquito colonies and carrying our experimental testing on different mosquito habits, mosquito species, and species of the malaria parasite. His field trips throughout Mexico lead to conclusions on the progress and/or success of state-wide malaria programs and also lead to conclusions on the prevalence of malaria in regions where children are examined for infection.

Quantitative and biological analysis of DDT and other insecticides continues, as Dr. Downs and the personnel of his office investigate the retention of DDT on adobe bricks, the decomposition of DDT in soil, and the repellent effects of DDT and insecticides in general. Dr. Downs visits the control houses at Acatlipa frequently to conduct such research. At the insectary, investigation focuses on the susceptibility of different anopheline species to contract varying strains of malaria. Both biological (e.g. mosquito age, breeding patterns) and environmental factors (e.g. temperature) are analyzed by Dr. Downs and his team to substantiate any correlation. Diary entries also recount the development and progress of anti-malaria programs by summarizing the status of training centers, scientific investigations, and malaria prevention throughout the country. Frequent field trips to towns and states outside of Mexico continue, and while on such visits Dr.Downs administers anti-malaria drugs and recommends an appropriate method of malaria prevention. Extensive data and observations on the state of malaria in Guerrero are included in this period. Office work mostly involves the logistics of transferring Dr.Down's office and personnel to a new Malaria Investigation Office, headed by the state; RF funding of the office terminates at the end of 1951.
